Red Rising

It was ok.

I guess this book just isn't for me (even though I would consider myself a sci-fi fan), because I did not understand the hype around it. To me it was just another generic dystopian story with forgetful characters and boring plot.
It wasn't hard to get through the book, it is an easy read. But I also didn't get invested at all with the story.
If your thinking about reading it, do it. Maybe it clicks with you, but it didn't for me.

Quick question:
Why is this book set on mars? At no point was the fact of it being another planet used to drive the story. It could just have been the same if they were dropped in an Island on earth.
